Lakeview School District officials are encouraging parents to send their kids to school on Friday, saying there's no truth to a rumor of gun violence at Lakeview High School that got one student suspended.

Lakeview Superintendent Dave Peterson confirmed today that one student was suspended for 10 days for starting rumors that gun violence of some kind would happen at the high school on Friday. Peterson said the district investigated the rumors and found no real threat to the district, but the student was suspended to "send a message that we don't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater."
